    More of a swimming fish than a sand sifter, likes to hide in the rock with its head sticking out. It is a good sized fish.

    This is a better picture, she's coming out to grab food here. Eating well, seems to have settled in QT. I have LR in there for her because I don't plan on buying a new fish again for a while and will clean the LR and put it in sump for future use. So far, after 10 days Betsy the Blenny eats anything I put in the tank except Nori strips. She does eat the nori pieces that are in the homemade mush I give her. The mush seems to get her moving around the QT for food more so than the other foods, although she does like to eat!

    Midas blennys are very cool. I have one that perches in some dead barnacles. He has a lot of personality and a cartoon face.
    If you are not watching him he will make a couple of laps around the tank to get noticed. I can see his eyes swivel and look directly at me.

    I wish he could talk.....
